6758. The Cranberries - So Cold in Ireland

-
https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51VmAmP+ufL.jpg
From: No Need to Argue; Year: 1994; Genre: Alternative Rock/Celtic Rock
Kind of odd that I have not chosen a song from The Cranberries for a St. Patrick's Day pick before today; definitely need to remedy that one. They are one of the more emotionally heart wrenching bands from Ireland, mostly thanks to the amazing vocals of the late-great Dolores O'Riordan and her signature wail.

6778. Willie Nelson - On the Road Again

-
Image
From: Honeysuckle Rose (Soundtrack) ; Year: 1980; Genre: Country Looking forward to another four hours of driving... if that's possible. (I really hate being behind the wheel for even short distances if you could not guess). I guess my personal mood is the opposite sentiment of this seminal hit from the outlaw country/western legend that is Willie Nelson. ....yeehaw....😩   Hear On the Road Again on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: The Kinks - Animal Farm     My song pick 2 years ago today: Duran Duran - Girls on Film   My song pick 3 years ago today: Mountain - Tired Angels (to J.M.H.)   My song pick 4 years ago today: Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) - Ramble Tamble   My song pick 5 years ago today: 10cc - Art for Art's Sake   My song pick 6 years ago today: Brotherhood of Man - Save All Your Kisses For Me   My song pick 7 years ago today: Wolfmother - Enemy Is In Your Mind My song pick 8 years ago today...

6775. George Clinton - Atomic Dog

-
Image
From: Computer Games ; Year: 1982; Genre: Funk Thought I'd already chosen this one, which is George Clinton's biggest hits from his solo recordings. It has been sampled and used in popular media a lot over the years as well as just being a great funk standard.   Hear Atomic Dog on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: War - Vibeka   My song pick 2 years ago today: Spacehog - Only a Few   My song pick 3 years ago today: Duran Duran - New Religion   My song pick 4 years ago today: T. Rex - Dandy in the Underworld   My song pick 5 years ago today: Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - Ain't No Mountain High Enough   My song pick 6 years ago today: Porcupine Tree - Phase I   My song pick 7 years ago today: Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell My song pick 8 years ago today: Dire Straits - Heavy Fuel My song pick 9 years ago today: The Doobie Brothers - Black Water My song pick 10 years ago today: The Moontrekkers - Dance Legle...

6779. David Essex - Lamplight

-
Image
From: Rock On ; Year: 1973; Genre: Glam Rock This jazzy pop number was the second single off of his debut album; it reminds me a lot of Dr. John , which is not surprising since David Essex was a fan of his. I have always found his music interesting in that he was a "pop idol," but has always been very experimental and progressive while still being consumable to the mainstream.    Hear Lamplight on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Midnight Oil - We Are Not Afraid     My song pick 2 years ago today: Marillion - Care   My song pick 3 years ago today: Eric Burdon and War - The Vision of Rassan   My song pick 4 years ago today: Brave Belt - Long Way 'Round   My song pick 5 years ago today: Meat Loaf - Paradise By the Dashboard Light   My song pick 6 years ago today: Blue Öyster Cult - Light Years of Love   My song pick 7 years ago today: Tool - Vicarious My song pick 8 years ago today: Nena - Ich häng' an dir...

6777. Blue Öyster Cult - I Just Like To Be Bad

-
Image
From: Curse of the Hidden Mirror ; Year: 2001; Genre: Hard Rock Decided on picking a song off of this album, which is by some considered to be one of the band's weakest releases. Truthfully, I have never really listened to it much, so I really have no firm opinion thus far. This track, which has a "cheeky" title, is quite similar to their normal work, so, I would probably have guessed it was BÖC just hearing it randomly.   Hear I Just Like To Be Bad on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Jeff Wayne, Richard Burton, Chris Thompson - Thunder Child     My song pick 2 years ago today: Cameo - Funk Funk   My song pick 3 years ago today: Genesis - Tonight, Tonight, Tonight   My song pick 4 years ago today: Hawkwind - Strange Encounters   My song pick 5 years ago today: Ozric Tentacles - Space for the Earth   My song pick 6 years ago today: Stevie Wonder - For Once In My Life   My song pick 7 years ago today: Dayton Sid...

6776. The Gods - Looking Glass

-
Image
From: Genesis ; Year: 1968; Genre: Psychedelic Rock Thought that I would give this band another, closer listen; this time, their debut album. I love bands like these where they are essentially a "supergroup," but instead of already successful musicians joining forces, these are successful musicians in the making that would go on elsewhere for it. This is a neat piece of psychedelia-infused riff heavy prog rock that is especially good when listening on a good pair of headphones.   Hear Looking Glass on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Lakeside - Power     My song pick 2 years ago today: Paul Kantner and Jefferson Starship - Starship   My song pick 3 years ago today: Alice in Chains - So Far Under   My song pick 4 years ago today: C.W. McCall - Black Bear Road   My song pick 5 years ago today: Pink Floyd - Sheep   My song pick 6 years ago today: Bill Withers - Lean On Me   My song pick 7 years ago today: Small Fa...

6780. Social Distortion - Ball and Chain

-
Image
From: Social Distortion ; Year: 1990; Genre: Blues Rock/Alternative Rock Heard this one a few times over the last couple of weeks and really started to take a liking to it, so, yeah, I am picking it. There's just something authentic about the bluesy lyrical content and low-fi garage/bar band sound that just works absolutely perfect. I'll most likely be listening to a lot more of this band in the future.   Hear Ball and Chain on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Suicidal Tendencies - Depression and Anguish     My song pick 2 years ago today: Los Bravos - I Don't Care   My song pick 3 years ago today: Talking Heads - Burning Down the House   My song pick 4 years ago today: Grace Jones - Slave to the Rhythm   My song pick 5 years ago today: The Guess Who? - Believe Me   My song pick 6 years ago today: Journey - Open Arms   My song pick 7 years ago today: Peter Frampton - Nassau/Baby, I Love Your Way My song pick...

6781. Wang Chung - Dance Hall Days

From: Points on the Curve ; Year: 1983; Genre: New Wave Heard this one on the television the other day and knew it was an upcoming pick. Dance Hall Days is another one of those infectious early 1980s new wave classics that just makes you feel like moving and puts you in a good mood.   Hear Dance Hall Days on YouTube.         My song pick 1 year ago today: Elvis Presley - Guitar Man     My song pick 2 years ago today: Lead Belly - Midnight Special   My song pick 3 years ago today: Blue Öyster Cult - Teen Archer   My song pick 4 years ago today: Triumph - Rock & Roll Machine   My song pick 5 years ago today: Bootsy's Rubber Band - Chug-A-Lug (The Bun Patrol)   My song pick 6 years ago today: Mastodon - Asleep in the Deep   My song pick 7 years ago today: Uriah Heep - Fallen Angel My song pick 8 years ago today: Depeche Mode - Strangelove My song pick 9 years ago today: Billy Joel - Uptown Girl My song pick 10 years...
